House of Sand and Fog

I watched this because it's based on Andre Dubus' book, which I haven't read but want to. I know of Dubus' literary work from the reviews I've read. He's a writer I'm interested in.

The movie was OK. Ben Kingsley and Jennifer Connelly do fine work, but man was it a depressing flick. Beautifully shot, well acted, and very sad. In some ways I thought that Connelly's character could have been a continuation from Requiem For A Dream, recovering from her addictions out on the West coast, but falling into a similar despair.
